LAMPATTACHMENT.

To allwhom'it may concern.A Q Be it knownthat I, HENRY J. SCHANICK, acitizen of theUnited States, residing at Kenney, in the county of AustinandState of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inLampAttachments, of'

tions and ada ted for operation to o en the v lamp for refil 'ngwithoutnecessitatlng the removal of the chimney. j Another Objectis toprovide such a device which will be rigid in structurefand lpositiveinaction. y 1

Other objects Vand advantages will'be apwill be understood that changesin the spe-` cific `structure shown and described may be made withinthescope of the claims and that any suitable materials may be usedwithout de arting from the lspirit ofthe invention.

in closed osition, Fig.g2 is a similarjview showing t e device inopenposition, Fig. 3'

is a top view of thedevice, Fig. 4 is a view of the lamp having thepresent, device attached thereto, and in open position.

Referring to the' drawings, there is shown a wick `support comprisingpivoted sections 10 and 11 comprising externally `threaded registeringcollars 12 and `13 provided with lateral iianges 15 and 16 inregistering contact at the 'inner ends of the-collar.` rljhe lowercollar l13 is adapted for engagement in e the usual'threaded opening ofalamp body as shown at 17, and the upper collar 14 is adapted to similarengagement with lamp burners of the usual typ The flanges 15 andV 16yare provided-"with ,registering perforations 18 therethrough, in`

which there is engaged a ivot pin 1,9 as shown. At a point on the anges15 and 16 removed approximately 90o vfrom the pivot l e speincati'onofretters Patent. Applicatipniled Apri128, 1908.,`r l Serial No.429,676. i

of theI fiange 16 agroove 20 extending thereacross and communicatingwith the openings 21 extending through the members 10 `and 11. Theflange 15 is provided with a depending closure member 21 arranged toclose the groove 20 when the device is in The ed e surfaces of thepositely of the pivot 19, and upon the upper surface lof the fiange 16,there is ivote a lockmember 23 comprising a resi ient arm `portion 24pivoted inwardly of the edge of the flange 15, and having its outer endportion 25 bent downwardly and provided with knob 27 `as shown, theedges of the portion -25 being bentinwardly. It will be seen osi- -thatwhen the sections are in closed gagement with the milled edges of theflanges 15 `and 16 by lateral oscillation of the member 24, to lock thesections 10 and 11 yieldably in closed position.

It will be seen that a device is provided, adapted `to engagement with alamp body as shown, and adapted to support wick holders of varioustypes.

In use, vfor refilling a lamp the upper sectionv 10 may be swungsidewise, the wick being received slidably in the groove 20, and thelamp chimney and. relative parts being swung out of interference withthe operation of filling the lamp with oil.' When in closed position,thefiange 21 closes the groove 20 and the member 23 may be utilized to lockthe parts in closed position, as above described. y
